“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~ Mark Twain

THROWBACK | Afternoon stroll at Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers

2009 | After a business trip to Kuching City, I did not pass the rare opportunity to visit the tallest twin towers in the world. Coming from Kuching City on my way back to Manila, I had a long 12-hour layover. I decided to spend some time in Petronas Towers.

After depositing my luggage for safekeeping, I boarded the one-hour bus ride to central terminal and rode the train to KLCC. I lingered around from almost 2PM to 8 PM before I headed back to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I had just enough time to check in and wait for my flight back to Manila at 1:00 AM.

The sky was overcast that gave me a great time roaming around its well-manicured and quiet gardens. It was definitely a stark contrast to the busy and crowded KLCC Mall below the Petronas Towers. I wanted to climb the towers, but the line was too long that time and I feared I might lose some precious time to do my photography. I thought that I already had so much of a mall scene back in Manila, and being new to the place, I confined myself in exploring photographing its every nook and cranny and observing people.

Then after a quick dinner, I patiently waited for sunset to capture the lighting of the towers at twilight, which highlighted my jaunt. After chimping on my photos, I thought I had good shots already and I had to go back to the airport.

Aside from my day job, I love photography and storytelling. Going places--be it a cliche destination or the far side of the road--stoke and free my soul. I dig deeper into the people’s psyche, culture and ethnicity, and heritage. I love to observe how they thrive and build social institutions, preserve their culture and traditions.
